“Noah’s Ark was INSTRUMENTAL in our daughters socialization and development.

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, who are so caring and wildly helpful.

We’re so excited that our second kid will be going too.

New parents, Noah’s Ark made an everything a no-brainer!

Highly recommend, and THANK YOU to the crew for YEARS of support!”

“My son has been attending Lightbridge in Edison since December, and we are so happy with our decision. From the tour, we were impressed and knew it was the best place for our son. His teachers truly love and nurture him, and his social skills have improved tremendously. We are so grateful for the care and support he receives every day.”

“UCMAS is the best program for kids who start at early age, it helps with brain development and they will stand out in the crowd and their thinking power is amazing!!
My son started this program when he was 4.5 yrs during Covid before he started his Kindergarten. I still remember first class with Mrs. Saswati, the way she introduced this program to me and my son was extraordinary. He started online classes with Ms.Bhruga Patel, she is a great teacher - my son used to love working with her. Every year he grew so much and I was amazed to see how he mentally does all the math problems and earned awards at each level. He graduated during summer of 2024 and earned Grade 1 plaque.
I strongly recommend this program and encourage parents to join their kids !!”

“My daughter adjusted so well here. They helped us with nap transitions, self feeding. She is always happy when we leave her there. I like that all teachers are moms with decades of childcare experience and have been there for a long time. They are also very flexible with our part time schedule and work with us around major holiday breaks. I am grateful to them for taking care of our child.”

“My son has had a wonderful experience at this school. We feel confident that he is in a safe, caring, and supportive environment every day. He genuinely enjoys going to school and comes home excited to share what he has learned. The curriculum is engaging, well-rounded, and encourages both academic growth and creativity. Most importantly, he absolutely loves his teachers. They are kind, dedicated, and make learning fun. We are very happy with the school and highly recommend it to other families.”

“The staff here is truly exceptional. The teachers go above and beyond to make every child feel like family. One of our favorite features is the live-stream video access and the frequent photo updates through their app. Being able to check in during the day gives us total peace of mind. Plus, the fact that they include healthy meals and snacks.”

“My daughter is here since last year and so far we found every one is very helpful and co-operative. They are helping us for her potty training and whatever we asked for they try to accommodate! We have a very pleasant experience here.”

“We had a wonderful experience at peace rose for prek3, prek4 and two summers. Ms. Carmen and all of her staff are nurturing, caring, and supportive. We would recommend to anyone for a well rounded and caring environment.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Little Angel’s! The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and at ease knowing our daughter was in safe, loving hands. She’s grown so much socially and emotionally, and she comes home every day with a big smile. The environment is clean, engaging, and filled with activities that support learning and creativity. We’re truly grateful for the care and dedication the entire team puts into each child’s development. Highly recommend!”

Five-Star Review for Little Genius Academy

Little Genius Academy is truly one of a kind. The staff here is more than just staff — they’re family. They care about your child in a way that you simply don’t find anywhere else. We’ve been with them since my middle son was in kindergarten, and now my youngest is graduating out this year after starting there at just six months old.

Not only is the education incredible, but the love, attention, and life lessons they give the kids are unmatched. My boys have learned so much academically, socially, and emotionally, and I can’t thank Little Genius Academy enough for helping shape them into who they are today.

We could not have chosen a better place. If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be loved, supported, and treated like family, this is it.
Highly recommend”

“I was initially worried about the differences between our small very hands on Brooklyn daycare and a corporate run daycare but they've proven me wrong. Lightbridge has created the sort of environment where my kiddo can thrive emotionally and academically. We are queer parents and they've made us feel included and very seen. The teachers are fantastic! I am so glad we chose Lightbridge.”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about my world. When our son first walked in the doors, he was incredibly shy and had very limited vocabulary, it was clear that social settings were a challenge for him. The transformation we’ve witnessed since then has been nothing short of amazing. His vocabulary has blossomed beyond what we could have hoped for, and the boy who once quietly kept to himself now actively collaborates and engages with his classmates every single day. This didn’t happen by accident. The warmth, patience, and dedication of the teachers and staff created a safe environment where our son felt comfortable enough to open up at his own pace. They clearly understand that every child develops differently, and they meet each one where they are.
We are so grateful to have found this place. It has made a real, lasting difference in our son’s confidence and development for the last 4 years . If you’re looking for a daycare that truly nurtures your child as an individual, look no further, this place is IT !”

“My 2.5 year old Son had a great great time.I wish I could continue.Teachers are like family to us.I will be missing them so much & my son too! All best to all.Keep growing!!”

“We’re so happy we chose TLE Edison for our daughter. The entrie process from the initial tour to our kids enrollment was very professional and welcoming. As first time parents we felt very safe entrusting our daughter in their hands.

The teachers are caring, the environment is positive and nurturing, and the curriculum really prepares kids for their next step.

The staff is always supportive and communication is great; they are very attentive when it comes to individual needs and convey each situation to the parents in a very timely and efficient manner.

The teacher to kids ratio is perfect for the amount off attention and care that is necessary for kids at this tender age. We are very lucky to have our kid enrolled in the hands of the best in business.

Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a safe and encouraging place for their child to learn and grow; all while bringing a smile on their face!”

“We have had such a wonderful experience at this school! Ms. Maggie, Ms. Nikole, and Ms. Italia in the infant room are incredibly kind, caring, and truly loving teachers. Every morning, Ms. Maggie greets my daughter with so much excitement and warmth, which gives me such peace of mind at drop-off.

I also truly appreciate how all three teachers take the time each day to talk with me about how my daughter’s day went. I never feel rushed, and their communication and genuine care mean so much to our family.

It is clear how much they love and support the children, and we are so grateful to have our daughter in their care. Thank you for everything you do!”

“Miss Michelle and Miss Nitra are excellent teachers, I entrust my son completely in their care. When I go to pick him up, my son doesn’t want to leave immediately and we linger for a few minutes till he is ready, which shows he is having so much fun! Thank you to the teachers and Mr Miguel for ensuring a safe, friendly and fun environment for little ones!!”

“An amazing school and program. All the teachers, staff, and owners are very hands on. Our child loved the school and all of the activities the school provided. We had him enrolled for close to 3 years and he was always happy to be there. He learned so much in his time there”

“Love the staff they’ve made the transition from home to starting school so easy. My daughter has made lots of new friends and I’m glad her social skills are excelling. They also are great when it comes to her allergies my child is very happy here!”

“I have been working with Larry for years since a major physical set back. He always has workouts that are within my limitations but still push me to get stronger. His knowledge is so expansive. He knows so much about the human body and what makes it work best. Add in his knowledge of food and you have the whole package. Larry doesn't just know all these things he lives them, making him empathetic on top of encouraging. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone looking to become more healthy!”

“I was very nervous about switching schools for my toddlers, but I can confidently say this has been the best decision I could have ever made.

From the very beginning, the environment has been nothing short of exceptional. The teachers, Ms. Leyla, are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated. The parents, the students, and the entire school community create such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.

This is truly a nurturing environment. Positive, loving, structured, and academically focused, yet also flexible and accommodating to each child’s needs. My children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day, which means everything to me as a parent.

I am so grateful to be part of this community and cannot recommend this school highly enough.”

“We’re so happy with our son’s experience at Precious Gems Montessori . His journey has been incredibly smooth and comfortable, and it’s clear how much care and thought the teachers puts into creating a nurturing environment.
The teachers are incredibly patient with the children and truly understand how to support each child at their own pace. We’ve especially appreciated how responsive and communicative they are — it gives us peace of mind knowing that our son is in such good hands.

Special thanks to the teachers Ms.Rumana (Owner), Ms. Jessica, Ms.Maida and Ms. Sneha.”

“My son has been going to TLE since he was 6 months old. He has grown so much here and the staff is so supportive and patient with children. If anyone is looking for a place where they want to know their kids are safe, learning, and taken care of, this is the place to be. Thank you TLE Somerset”

“Both of our children have attended Lightbridge Academy in Fanwood since they were 4 months old, and it has been the best decision for our family. The teachers and staff are warm, loving, and incredibly supportive. Our children grow every day—learning in leaps and bounds—but what matters most to us is that their emotional well-being is cared for just as thoughtfully. That has truly made all the difference for our family. The infant classroom is our favorite, though every teacher we’ve encountered has been amazing—always welcoming and smilin and Ms. Daisy in the office is always responsive and helpful. We highly recommend Lightbridge to any parent feeling anxious about starting daycare.”

“Both my kids go here and love it. Director is amazing — super involved and always easy to talk to. Staff really cares about the kids and makes it feel like family. Couldn’t ask for anything more.”

“This school has been a wonderful experience for our 3‑year‑old. The curriculum is age‑appropriate, engaging, and fun, and we’re amazed at how much our child has learned in such a short time. Ms Sharma plus all the teachers, genuinely care about each child’s development and well‑being. We especially appreciate the warm environment and the individual attention given to every student.”

“Our daughter attended KinderCare Piscataway for two and a half years before we moved out of New Jersey, and we cannot express enough how much we loved this daycare. She was always happy to go, and most of the teachers were truly wonderful—caring, dedicated, and affectionate. Our daughter still talks about them often.

We especially want to thank Ms. Catherine, Mr. Austin, Ms. Amina, Ms. Dihana, Ms. Sylvia, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Carla. Each of them showed love and kindness, and we are deeply grateful that our daughter was in their care. She loved giving them hugs, and their warmth meant so much to us as parents.

We truly miss them, and our daughter especially misses Ms. Catherine and Mr. Austin, and her friends of course.”

“Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. My daughter just turned 2 and has been going here for 5 months now. I couldn't ask for better daycare. We are very thankful to the whole team at Kinder Kastle. I would recommend this place to everyone with little ones..”

“Our daughter went here for over 2 years and loved it! Teachers and staff are very warm, caring and deeply committed to the children's well being. They have a nice play area and have a lot of fun and educational activities indoors and outdoors. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nurturing atmosphere for their little one.”

“My children (2 and 5) have attended KinderCare for the past 5 years and it has been nothing but an amazing experience for my family. We have specifically been at the Mountain Boulevard location for almost 2 years and there have been a lot of changes. They are under a new management team, and we can't say enough positive things about the directors, Melissa and Mariana. They are both at the center consistently and always greeting every child and family with a smile. They have done such a wonderful job creating a warm, fun, and inviting environment and my kids love going to school because of it. We also love how much they care about safety and supervision, and how much they invest into their teachers. It is clear that this team loves what they do because it reflects in the love they show to my kiddos.Miss Julia, Miss Ana, Ms. Konny, Mr. Eric, and every other teacher in the building are nothing but kind, patient, nurturing, and loving. Having to leave my children in the care of others was not an easy decision, but this team has gained mine and my wife's complete trust and confidence, and that is rare and special.Thank you to the Melissa, Mariana, and the rest of the team at Mountain Boulevard KinderCare for loving and caring for my children as if they were their own. We couldn't be happier to be apart of this KinderCare family!”
